Underground RB26 240SX vs. SRVidz.com 400rwhp SRT-4

[umsports]

Hey Guys,
Over thanksgiving break I was contacted by the guys that filmed the movie Adrenaline, srvidz.com about using my car in their next upcoming movie...

Since they are based in Pensacola, FL as was I, I graciously said yes....

When I got there, I was expecting to be using the car for a driver/car profile, but instead the guys wanted me to race their demo car in addition....

It's an SRT-4, running 20 PSI, factory turbo, and 75 shot nitrous.. has gone [email protected]

Here is another video of the SRT-4 that raced me...

My car was running 15 PSI on stock turbos, stock motor, etc...

The guys from Adrenaline were awesome and I really look forward to seeing the movie! (There's a plug for the vid coming out summer 2005)

DAMINT! Video looked really good but comon you can't leave it like that! Needs to be longer. But I did enjoy it, thanks.

[nocomedown]

correct me if i'm wrong, but the SRT-4 is FWD, no? if so, that's incredible that it'd be pushing 400 at the rear wheels.

maybe it has 400 right wheel horsepower? :naughtyd:

Anywayz...its always nice to see a nissan come out on top(i hope?).

[umsports]

LOL, I didn't even realize I had typed that....

Thanks for a good laugh...

Yes, it is FWD!!!

Take care!

If you want a longer clip, buy the video...That's all they have given me so far...

[R Drifter]

well u can at least tell us who won :p

[umsports]

I didn't stop until he was far enough back where there would be no question about who won...

We went from a 5 MPH roll-on since I have stock axles...

[MakotoS13]

wow, 400useless horsies trying their best against one of the best motors every built = DEATH.

your car may look like unpainted poop.. but it sounds GREAT and is fast as hell.

[mr_240sx]

that was the biggest tease video ive ever seen!!! its gotta be longer then that!!!

[fliprayzin240sx]

Im guessing you didnt end up selling that beast after all. I had money lined up to buy it too...well it was in my dreams but god wut a nice dream it was.

[Drunk Bastard]

good job beating a srt in your RB powered s14. no contest.

btw, Front Wheel Drive = Wrong Wheel Drive

[zero.counter]

Yet another video showing how bad the SRT-4s are a waste of hard earned cash.
Speaking of which, here is another:

Good video and love the car Chris!

[Drunk Bastard]

^^^^^that video was AWESOME!!!! I know several people who have SRT-4's and I only refer to their cars as neon's and they get PISSED. oh ya, dont forget that the neon is the "fastest import you can get" . hahaha

[mellojoe]

Lol. Chris, glad you kept the car. That thing is a HOSS. Now, why'd you go pick on that Neon anyway?

[old_s13]

wow, 400useless horsies trying their best against one of the best motors every built = DEATH.

supra motor? mclaren f1 motor?

video was crap.. too short and cant see anything. sounded ok though. :)

[nlzmo400r]

haha, that galant VR4 was the shit!!, i woulda hate to have seen that from a dig.

[HyperTek]

I knew Skyline motors where good enough to beat suped up Neons!!

come on, that video clip was nothing to post about.. ur just tryin to stir up publicity...

[wootwoot]

Take it to a track where he has traction. Shit ass video as well. IF he does have 400whp then there is no chance you'd beat him in the proper environment

[umsports]

We are both making around 400rwhp....

They are claiming 400rwhp, but obviously I wasn't at the dyno to verify that, but they had nothing to lie about....So I believe it...

The last time I dynoed the car I put down 383rwhp at 15 PSI....

Since then, I have done other mods... So, I feel confident I was putting down close to another 50rwhp...

My car weights in at 2925 lbs with full tank of gas after the RB26 swap...

His car weighs between 2900-3000 lbs based on the online specs I have been browsing tonight..

What do you not believe?

[umsports]

Wootwoot, explain how my car weighing nearly the same would be handed by a FWD SRT-4 of nearly the same HP....

Obviously, you have extensive knowledge with RB26 240SX's racing SRT-4, so please fill us all in...

[old_s13]

i think my favorite part about your car is the engine bay, it looks nice.

as for the car itself, i think it lacks style (i think i already commented last time when you posted pics of your car, but i never saw the engine pics until today)

it would have been nice if you posted a better video, longer video, more visible video, etc. what would you think if someone posted a video of a skyline racing a turbo neon? not much of a challenge, i would rather see your car racing supra turbo, etc.. remember, you're a big fish in a small pond now.. BALLER. :)

[umsports]

Guys, this video is off of www.srvidz.com's site...

I have no control over the length, size of the file, etc...

I have already asked for a longer video, and my email hasn't been responded too...

I wish you could see the end result, because it would only make my car shine 100x over...

It was cut as a teaser for the video... They posted it for less than a week, then pulled it off...

[SimpleS14]

How much torque are you making?

pics of engine bay please?

[-E-]

[umsports]

saved me the trouble posting pics, thanks!

.. 318 lbs of torque...

[90RS13]

I'm not into FWD cars, but for FWD the SRT-4 is pretty great. I would have to agree that in a track enviroment (if the other guy isn't a moron) it wouldn't been much closer. I rad an article in SCC i think, not to long back, where a SRT-4, around 400 hp, ran like a 12 sec quarter. Not to shabby. He still wouldn''t have won, but it would've been closer.

[wootwoot]

In that case you are just underexagerating what your car has done to it. From what you hinted at in your first post was boostcontroller only. I still assumed fmic and full exhaust but what else that makes your car still have a "stock motor"?

[sykikchimp]

12sec with 400whp is nothing to brag about. Greaser almost (or maybe he did..?) run 10's wiht 350whp.

I bet the burnout is nice and smokey though. lol.

[umsports]

I'm currently running 11's with my setup as it sits now...that SRT-4 has run [email protected] MPH..

I hope to get some drag strip clips up soon for you guys to see...

[umsports]

On my way out to Dallas, TX for the holidays! I wish everyone a safe holiday season. Take care!

[nocomedown]

what part of dallas are you going to be in?

[umsports]

Plano, TX... East Side (75N and Parker Rd..)

[MakotoS13]

i just don't know why someone would want 400hp in a FWD car. its ONLY bragging rights. who cares if you make so much power that your already limited car is now hard as hell to get a decent launch out of?

ich... now a HEMI powered neon... that'd RAWK :)

[umsports]

But from a roll the FWD cars do fine... The Civic Hatchbacks w/B18 swaps are a testament to that...as well as the 90-04 Sentra SE-R's when turboed..

[nightwalker]

I'm just wondering, did you have any problems with the RB26 ECU, cause some guys in cali were doing the swap themselves and for some reason couldn't get the ECU to think the front axles were there. (tricking it) Is that usually an issue? Thanks.

No, I didnt have any issues with the ECU at all..and I have never heard of this problem before today..

Try McKinney Motorsports, they did the wiring on my car...

cool. Good to hear. Thanks.

[North240]

400hp and only running 12's just doesnt cut it, turbo and NA Hondas run those kinda numbers with 275hp
